A museum sets up a display of fluorescent minerals. Which best describes how electromagnetic waves can be used to enhance the display?

Fluorescent minerals absorb higher-energy ultraviolet light and then emit some of that energy as lower-energy visible light. Shining ultraviolet light on them therefore makes them glow visibly, enhancing the display. Visible light does not typically cause the minerals to emit infrared or ultraviolet light as described in the other choices.
